Re: [MELB] Highpoint tram track works

Hmmm... don't know about Highpoint, people going there can always
change to the #82.

PTUA wants the #57 extended along Milliera Rd to better serve its
catchment population in Avondale Heights and East Keilor. There is no
firm proposal, but someone should prepare one.

How about (And this is brainstorming, not a serious policy) extending
it to Avondale Heights and then looping it back along Buckley St to
Essendon?
